When I was very, very young I remember my father saying bad things about Catholics (my mother was Catholic and separated from us ), I ask him why he didn't like Catholics and he said they ran us out of Ireland. Obviously he heard this from his father and grandfather.I had forgotten all about that until after my DNA match proved I was of Irish decent. I had put it completely out of my mind and considered myself English based on the fact that I could only trace my family back to Manchester, England in the mid 1800s.
A couple things have registered with me due to the last couple emails I have received from you.
Number #1: Yes, the Wexford Hollingsworths had always claimed their ancestors came from England.
I always thought it was because they didn't want to be Irish, I think I was wrong about that assumption.Number #2: Yes, Valentine and probably most of his family went to England to escape the rebellion because of their Quaker influence, plus the will to live. Many of the Jews were smart enough to do the same thing before Hitler came to power.
For the past couple years I too, like Bill in Dublin, have always felt my lineage goes back to Valentine's brother Thomas born abt 1634. I have always felt it was his brother Thomas that signed things along with Valentine, not Valentine's son.
There is a lost generation between Thomas born abt 1634 and Samuel born abt 1710 and John born abt 1713. I believe these two men to be brothers and most likely born in England.
I believe that Samuel 1710 is the sire of the Arklow family and John 1713 is the sire of the Ballycanew family. Bill in Dublin traces his family back to Samuel and I trace my family back to John. If Bill doesn't match with his DNA, that would blow that theory out of the water, but I would bet anything he will match .
I don't think it was a coincidence that my ancestor James (born 1811 Ballycanew) settled in Manchester when he mustered out of the army in 1845, I now feel he had a family history in Machester. That would also coincide with the Wexford families claiming to come from that area of England.
The England theory would certainly explain the absents of any records in any of the counties pertaining to Hollingsworths after the rebellion of the 1640s. And like I said earlier, your last couple emails really seemed to hit home and get me thinking.
Another obvious fact is the Wexford Hollingsworths were not Quakers, they were Church of Ireland, and a good reason why they didn't accompany Valentine to America. They stayed in England for one more generation before going back to Ireland as young men, and this time to the peaceful south, which was to prove not a very good idea in the long run.
Thanks for letting me express my thoughts and taking the time to read them,
Best Regards, Tom (Ballycanew)
In 1993, the Boundary County Idaho Translator board’s chairman, Tom Hollingsworth began a series of negotiations with the Forest Service and US West to construct a state of the art 12X36 communications building. These negotiations lasted over 3 years. The Chairman and Translator Board’s efforts in those long and sometimes frustrating negotiations netted our county an estimated overall saving of $50,000. In addition, all equipment is now housed in a secure and weatherproof modular building with room for future expansion.

Hi Tom ... you are correct ... please remind me if I do not revise it on the next "comprehensive" update.
You and Michael have a genetic distance from Vincent (Valentine lineage 67 marker modal) of 3.
Thanks for catching my error ... and bringing it to my attention!
BTW ...
You and Michael have a genetic distance of 2.
Gerard and Michael have a genetic distance of 4.
Gerard and you have a genetic distance of 6.
I have mixed feeling about Gerard's Yorkshire relationship ... as to whether he shares a common ancestor more recently with the Co. Wexford or the Valentine lineage.
My first thought is that he is probably more closely related to the Co. Wexford line since he appears to share two of the same possible early mutations. On the other hand ... why does the Co. Wexford and the Valentine lines have a closer genetic distance? Coincidence?
We are extending Michael to Y-DNA111 markers in hopes of learning something new. We have already extended Gerard to 111 markers.
We are continuing to research Gerard's Yorkshire lineage. We believe that our researcher has tracked Gerard's lineage back to Calverley, Yorkshire to a Richard Hollingsworth who died there in 1557. Mum is the word for now ... we are still looking at the information to be sure that it is correct.
Kindest Wishes,
John Kindest Regards,

3125. John William Tackaberry
St. Pauls
John W Tackaberry Goldsmith Terrace age 33,25 July 1867.
This is a,believed, son to The Rev. Fossey Tackaberry and Eliza(Elizabeth) Johnston who married Kate Malone, 27 December 1860 at St. Peter Dublin, being John William Tackaberry(named for the father,of Fossey Tackaberry,being John Tackaberry and the step-father being William Johnston).This is because both this John William Tackaberry and Elizabeth Putz(nee: Tackaberry-daughter of Fossey Tackaberry,Wesleyan Minister) were both living at 34 Lower Mt. Pleasant Avenue,Dublin, when they married and where John was a witness to Elizabeth's marriage.The Rev. Fossey Tackaberry had 5 children on his 44th birthday ,being 22 October,1840,and which suggests 6 children should James Harper Tackaberry have died prior to that date.
Should this be the case then the 6th child could be Fossey Tackaberry,born c.1832 at Castledermott,County Kildare, and who joined the Army and lived at St. Hellier,Jersey,in the Channel Isles, as a Chelsea Pensioner.
